Condition 1: In rare instances, the AED may cancel charge in
preparation for a shock. Based on field data, the odds of an affected
AED having this happen are less than a 1 in 400,000 chance per month for
any given AED.
A subset of AEDs (less than 11%) that are affected
by Condition 1 are also affected by Condition 2: In rare instances, the
AED may cancel charge in preparation for a shock in very high humidity
conditions. The only reported cases were in environments of greater than
95% relative humidity or condensing conditions. Based on field data,
the odds of an affected AED having this happen are less than a 1 in
250,000 chance per month for any given affected AED.
Defibtech will provide customers with a free software upgrade to address
these issues. The correction to the AED will be able to be performed at
the location where the AED is deployed.
